***The farm is the fundamental building block for implementing regenerative agriculture*** At this foundational level, sustainable practices are put into action, directly impacting soil health, water conservation, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem resilience. By focusing on regenerative practices at the farm level, food and beverage companies can drive positive environmental change throughout their supply chains. This grassroots approach not only fosters greater sustainability but also promotes long-term resilience in agricultural systems, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and resilient food future. Here's a snippet from our webinar, explained by SAI Platform's Dominik Klauser. #regenag #sustainability #foodsupplychain

🌱 Regenerative Agriculture: Restoring Nature, Empowering Farmers 🌍 In a world where food production often comes at the expense of our environment, Regenerative agriculture offers a beacon of hope. Unlike conventional farming, this holistic approach focuses on restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and capturing carbon from the atmosphere. 🌾 Key Principles: 1. Soil Health: Building organic matter and restoring microbial diversity for healthier crops. 2. Biodiversity: Encouraging a variety of plant and animal species to create resilient ecosystems. 3. Water Management: Enhancing the land’s ability to retain water, preventing soil erosion and droughts. 4. Carbon Sequestration: Farms can become carbon sinks, actively reducing atmospheric CO2. 💡 Why It Matters: - For Farmers: Increased yields, improved soil fertility, and reduced reliance on chemical inputs. - For the Planet: Mitigating climate change, preserving natural resources, and promoting sustainability. - For Consumers: Healthier, nutrient-dense food, and a more sustainable future. Let’s reimagine agriculture not just as a means to feed the world, but as a solution to heal the Earth. 🌍💚 #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #SoilHealth #ClimateAction #FarmersFirst #FutureOfFarming #Environment #Biodiversity #SustainableFarming #NatureConservation

Did you know that the path to a more sustainable future starts with the way we cultivate our food? 🌾 At Horta da Terra, we're committed to regenerative agriculture, just like the principles outlined in the insightful article from Sacred Cow (https://lnkd.in/d7F7jeVU). Regenerative agriculture isn't just a farming method; it's a philosophy that seeks to restore and enhance ecosystems while producing nourishing food. This approach focuses on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable food system. By mimicking nature's processes, regenetarians aim to heal the land, support biodiversity, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Through these best practices, we at Horta da Terra are also focused on promoting Amazonian biodiversity,  by providing access to anyone on the planet to the nutritional, functional and medicinal powers of plants. Join us in embracing regenerative agriculture as a powerful solution for a healthier planet and a more sustainable future! 💚 #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableLiving #BiodiversityRevival #ClimateAction #HortaDaTerra

🌱 Today is World Soil Day! 🌎 Regenerative agriculture is one of the most powerful solutions to heal our soil, grow healthy food, and fight climate change. By restoring soil health, regenerative practices capture carbon, boost biodiversity, and make farming more resilient. Protecting soil through regenerative agriculture isn’t just good for the planet—it’s essential for a sustainable food future. ✨ Here’s how we can act: 1️⃣ Support sustainable agriculture practices that restore soil health, improve water and air quality, boost biodiversity, and combat climate change. 2️⃣ Reduce food waste—when food is wasted, so are the soil resources used to grow it. 3️⃣ Advocate for policies that invest in soil restoration and sustainable food systems. At Littlefoot Ventures, we’re committed to solutions that heal our soil while feeding communities. Whether it’s partnering with food rescue organizations (such as AmpleHarvest.org), upcycling organizations (such as Upcycled Food Association and Matriark Foods) or advocating for regenerative agriculture (through Soil Health Alliance), we believe soil health is key to a sustainable future. #WorldSoilDay #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #Sustainability #ClimateAction Eva Goulbourne

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY 🌴🌴🌽🍈 ✓Agriculture is both a cause and solution to environmental problems. Agriculture is linked to biodiversity loss and climate change. However, sustainable agriculture also has the unique potential to mitigate climate change and strengthen resilience to the impacts of climate change. ✓Food security is monitored in near-real time by different organizations and initiatives at the international, national, and regional scale. These platforms work by creating the infrastructure for distinct groups of stakeholders to come together and work hand-in-hand to solve the economic, social, and environmental challenges that affect them all. ✓ Vision for sustainable food and agriculture is therefore important for the world in which food is nutritious and accessible for everyone and natural resources are managed in a way that maintain ecosystem functions to support current as well as future human needs. ✓The effect of climate change and insecurity in agriculture in the view of food security should be of paramount check. #Sustainability #SustainableAgriculture

Our practices aren’t just about producing food—they’re about creating value across ecosystems, nurturing both people and the planet. By innovating at every step, we're proving that sustainable agriculture can benefit all stakeholders, from urban families to smallholder farmers. Let’s build a future where food production regenerates our soils, protects biodiversity, and promotes health. Because how we produce food truly matters! 🌍💚 #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSecurity #MzuriOrganics #CircularEconomy #GreenInnovation #UrbanFarming #SoilHealth #ClimateAction

We all rely on the ground beneath our feet – after all, over 95% of our food comes from soil 🌱  Today, on World Soil Day, we’re spotlighting the importance of sustainable soil management for food security – especially in the fight against climate change. We’re big believers in harnessing regenerative agricultural practices to support biodiversity and this year’s theme of ‘Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage’ underlines the importance of taking this further still with accurate soil data and information.  To help us understand the ‘bigger picture’ on farms, including soil health, we developed a biodiversity monitor to track progress. This forward-thinking tool allows farmers to input all their biodiversity data in one place and make more informed decisions, so we can all benefit from each other’s knowledge. Together, we can make positive change 🤝  Find out more about how we’re striving to enhance biodiversity in ingredient production in this Q&A: https://lnkd.in/eZFpBgqx  #FrieslandCampinaIngredients #WorldSoilDay #Sustainability
